Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He didn't have much money
But boy did he have friends
And in the summer he'd make a little money
Selling candy and magazines
And working through the fields
(Verse 2)
And down the road was Harry's bar
And it seemed to him it was the best
Place in the world, man
When you're only seventeen
And when you're in a small town
There ain't much else to do at night
But hang around and wait for Saturday
(Chorus)
Tonight, tonight, the world is full of light
Complete and overwhelming, life goes on over, over, over, over
Tonight, tonight, the music, loud and light
In perfect, glorious harmony
Everything's gonna be alright
(Bridge)
But soon it was time to take the train
Headin' out on his own, man
But there was something left behind
But you can't get too hung up on that stuff
Now it's on to England
And when he had arrived, man
He thought to himself, "Wow!"
(Chorus)
Tonight, tonight, the world is full of light
Complete and overwhelming, life goes on over, over, over, over
Tonight, tonight, the music, loud and light
In perfect, glorious harmony
Everything's gonna be alright
(Chorus)
Tonight, tonight, the world is full of light
Complete and overwhelming, life goes on over, over, over, over
Tonight, tonight, the music, loud and light
In perfect, glorious harmony
Everything's gonna be alright
